>Most of the crime in western states is centred around the "sink estates" (I guess you'd say the "projects" or ghettoes or slums). Would you advocate a huge police drop on these places, rounding up everyone and putting them in prison camps, to ensure you get the bad guys? I mean, where does one draw the line at these draconian measures? Wait a minute - Draco was just your apprentice!

>Poor analogy - our government prosecutes those who commit crimes.

Maybe a poor analogy but I can't think of anything to compare with the unthinkable that you think. OTOH you're promulgating annihilating whole cities to get the "bad guys" - I liken it to arresting whole neighbourhoods to get, say, the pushers. AFter all - they DO foster them, don't they!

>When was the last time you heard Ahmadinejad seeking out a terrorist network in his own country???

Don't see the point in this but are you saying that because he doesn't the US should just nuke everyone there?

Come on, Kevin, you know you're talking Eartha Kit! and your stance is indefensible.
